Helping Reach a Larger Audience

Industry Relations

The NFCC negotiates with the creditors who participate in Credit.org’s Debt Management Programs. The standardized concessions the creditors offer make it possible for us to counsel clients individually and immediately estimate how the creditors will work with them to achieve debt relief. Without the NFCC conducting this negotiation at a high level, members would have to enter into individual negotiations for each of the thousands of clients who seek help; this would be practically impossible.The NFCC also helps form partnerships with charities and grant providers to help reach a larger audience and fund the agency’s operations without being forced to charge large fees of our clients.

Financial Contents

Certification

The NFCC provides counselor certification for its member agencies, like Credit.org. By certifying these counselors, Credit.org can help clients make the best decisions regarding their personal finances. Counselors must become re-certified every two years.

Accreditation

NFCC Members must also be accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), which signifies meeting the highest standard of service delivery. COA ensures that our practices are ethical, financially sound, and focused on serving the best interests of our clients.

Initiatives

In addition to the counselor certification and service standards established by the NFCC, the NFCC also sponsors national initiatives with the participation of member agencies.

Administrative Support

The NFCC helps us by evaluating current laws and regulations that affect our industry. Being a member helps Credit.org stay in compliance and ensures that our clients receive the full protection of all relevant legislation.
